Accurate and Fast Gear Trigonometry - September/October 1990

The article "Accurate and Fast Gear Trigonometry" appeared in the September/October 1990 issue of Gear Technology.

SummaryAn accurate and fast calculation method is developed to determine the value of a trigonometric function if the value of another trigonometric function is given. Some examples of conversion procedures for well-known functions in gear geometry are presented, with data for accuracy and computing time. For the development of such procedures the complete text of a computer program is included.
